I think it would make a great place for a market, maybe even with outdoor produce stands in the Summer. It certainly has a lot of parking, both on-site and on the street. Maybe the people GRTP was talking about might radar in on this. I wonder even if a Horrock's might be a good user.

I'm sorry, but I can't say that I'm sad to see a charter school close. They did nothing to fix the education system problems we have, and just plunged GRPS into bigger trouble.

Can't say that I am sad to see it go. I enrolled my nephew there for one semester and that was enough. The place seemed mis-managed, they couldn't afford toilet paper for the student restrooms. They also did not seem to have a problem allowing a radical religious group to teach sex ed, providing highly suspect "information" to the students. As with anything, if they were preforming well and providing a valued product, then they would still be in business.

The old Gateway Charter School is set to become office space. A company is looking at investing $1 Million to bring the building up to date and then lease it out (no tenants yet). They are seeking classification as an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District from the city, which abates real property taxes on improvements.
